Aliens: Dead Orbit #3

James Stokoe's singular vision continues in this third chapter of Aliens: Dead Orbit, and his cover alone makes the tension almost unbearable. A suited figure in a battered orange pressure suit pushes forward amid a shower of shattering debris, while two Xenomorphs loom and close in from behind — their biomechanical forms rendered in Stokoe's characteristically dense, intricate detail against a murky purple haze. Every line of this cover, from pencils to inks, is pure Stokoe, making this 2017 Dark Horse series one of the most visually distinctive Aliens comics in recent memory.
